She may’ve swapped Australia for a lavish LA lifestyle, but Pia Whitesell was back on home soil on Tuesday to ring in the New Year.

The former Home and Away star, 40,  was kicking up her heels on a luxury yacht on Sydney Harbour with her multi-millionaire husband Patrick and her sons Isaiah, 20, and Lennox, 16.

Pia took to Instagram to share a series of images of the family viewing the dazzling fireworks display that marked the beginning of 2025.

The model certainly looked the part, showing off her trim frame in a sparkling silver mini dress.

The sleeveless dress clung to her svelte form perfectly and also flaunted her tanned and toned arms and a hint of cleavage.

Finishing at the thigh, the garment also showed off the former soap star‘s enviably trim pins.

One photo showed Pia sitting solo on the deck as the sun began to set over Sydney Harbour.

Wearing a broad smile, Pia was evidently excited about the celebrations that were to ensue.

Another sweet photo showed Pia posing with Isaiah, who looked pleased as punch to be partying with mum in Sydney, and husband Patrick.

She shared a second, similar photo that showed her huddling close to her youngest, Lennox.

One quirky photo showed Pia sporting an iconic Australian cork hat to help ward off the flies as she said goodbye to 2025.

Captioning the photo, Pia revealed that it was a gift from former Home and Away producer and current Head of Drama at Seven Julia McGauran.

Pia declared that her new hat was: ‘The best gift ever.’

Pia rounded out the images with a shot of her dancing the night away as a DJ spun tunes on the deck of the yacht.

Pia was only 19 years old when she fell pregnant with eldest son Isaiah, whom she shares with her former boyfriend.

She shares son Lennox with her ex Brad Miller.

Pia’s two sons moved to the US with the soap star after she tied the knot with her Hollywood agent husband Patrick.

They have fully immersed themselves in American way of life, with Lennox joining a football team at his high school and Isaiah attending college.

Pia’s career took off in 2014, when she landed the role of Kat Chapman on Home and Away.

She confirmed she was dating Patrick in December 2019. The pair were secretly wed in 2021, and she then moved to Los Angeles.

Pia’s transformation from soap star to international jet setter was complete after she tied-the-knot with the Hollywood heavyweight.

Patrick is the Executive Chairman of William Morris Endeavor, who is believed to have a net worth of around USD $600 million.
